The openSUSE project is a community program sponsored by Novell. Promoting the use of Linux everywhere, openSUSE.org provides free, easy access to the world's most usable Linux distribution, openSUSE. The openSUSE project gives Linux developers and enthusiasts everything they need to get started with Linux.

The goals of the openSUSE project are:

* Make openSUSE the easiest Linux distribution for anyone to obtain and the most widely used open source platform.
* Provide an environment for open source collaboration that makes openSUSE the world's best Linux distribution for new and experienced Linux users.
* Dramatically simplify and open the development and packaging processes to make openSUSE the platform of choice for Linux hackers and application developers.

With the launch of the openSUSE project, openSUSE is now developed in an open model—public development builds, releases, and sources will be posted frequently here and you will have access to our Bugzilla database for defect reporting. You can also sign up on special interest mailing lists to make sure that you are always getting the most recent news on the openSUSE project and the openSUSE distribution. In time (see our project road map), we will create the next-generation distribution development infrastructure including a code management system and a public build server.

  Suse is gonna replace microsoft to some extent ...this software has awesome features...

  I love SuSE! I'm kind of a linux noob, and I've tried 4 distros in the last 2 months, and I stuck with SuSE! I give it 5 out of 5 stars for its awesome programs, fun games, and interface design!

  Suse is a broken distribution. We have 8 engineers using it and every one of us has experienced instability in the GUI. Use Redhat. Windows is more predictable than Suse. We had enough junk on the market already, now we have Suse to contend with.

  I've used SuSE for a few months now, and I haven't booted into another OS for about a month! I have PCLinuxOS, Kubuntu, XP AND Vista installed, and this is WAY better than all of them.
And I've tried just about every pupular distro- Fedora, PCLinuxOS, Zenwalk, Debian, Kubuntu/Ubuntu Linspire, Xandros, and more than I can remember, and SuSE is better than all of them!

  SuSE ROX I've used it for years, bugs have been probs hardware wise in the past for me, and sometimes is still difficult, but it gets fixed with some time work.

Red Hat is the other OTHER red headed freckle faced foster child of linux.

  I have used sled 9 & from then onwards I became a big fan of suse I am very impressed with suse. Its a complete distro & the latest version 10.2 is mind blowing its just works on every hardware. suse rocks.

  This is the first Linux O/S that I have used and so far I have found it to be very easy to understand and learn. What I have been most impressed with is the amount of resources that I have been able to find on just about any given subject.

  When I first started linux, I used Ubuntu. it sucked. then i went and tried suse 10.0 . It wiped the floor with Ubuntu. Suse was polished to the finest detail. Then I tried the much popular Fedora core 5. Way too many bugs. Then I tried the much talked about Mandriva and all its hype. It doesn't live up to it. I wanted the "SUSE" feeling. so I went back using 10.1 with gnome. Something was missing even with it's new menu. I went a few months trying to find out what was missing. I was actually missing KDE. KDE is the desktop that provided the "SUSE" feeling. And I'm now using 10.2 with the new KDE menu. It just adds to the "KDE SUSE" feeling. The polished, the clean and sparkling desktop operating system. No other operating system has come close. Not even microsoft and its windows.

  I Use Open Suse 10.2 ,and i would only say "Suse Rocks" ,reply for sajeerfazil , while installing open suse before finally installing suse ,installer shows partitions and packages ,,please select packages pertaining to development (ide+debugger+gui designers)...
or alternatively you can use yast to install softwares related to this package group.
i have posted (compilation) video on our college's LUG site here is the link :

  I had suse10.2 downloaded. I was wondering if anybody had the installed suse from its iso images.

  SUSE is the best distro I have ever tried. for noobs, its ease of use rivals the dreaded Windows, while still being extremely powerful.

Submitted by pcxman on 2008-01-01 for Version 10.3
  I really like the feel suse 10.3 it almost perfect. I still fight to install some software but most of time I can use yast and it works.

Submitted by Martynf_uk on 2008-01-26 for Version 10.3
  I keep wandering off to try other distros but here I am again. Even the mighty Ubuntu in its various forms couldn't keep me away. Opensuse is without doubt the best distro for newcomers and old hands alike.

Submitted by anrocrle on 2008-02-24 for Version 10.3
  I have been using SuSE 10.0 thru 10.3 for the past few years on and off, reinstalled XP last week and after two days problems began (again) and system slowed down dramatically (running anti virus/firewall etc). I have had no major problems with SuSE, tried most other mainstream distro's and keep coming back, I find the others lack that (feel?). I found updating, adding software and customising the others awkward and difficult, dead easy in SuSE. I still consider myself a newbie but I'm able to quickly and easily do what I require and if I can't work it out the wiki is excellent. 10 out of 10.

Submitted by knapie on 2008-04-29 for Version 10.3
  Used SuSE for ages, have tried others, RedHat, UBuntu etc on my spare computer, SuSE still seems to be the best. Yast is wow and I find 99% of the packages I need in SuSE distro.

  Now OpenSUSE is better than Ubuntu with release of V11.

  Gave it the better part of a day. That was all it took to find out how broken this distro really is. I went into this wanting to find all positives, but negatives came roaring out at me within minutes of install.
First the good:
This is an elegantly designed interface. The setup with YaST was a delight. Lot's of usable packages offered at setup, including a few you wont find with other distros. Best of all, upgrading existing packages was a snap... or so I thought.

Now the bad:
That easy upgrade I mentioned... turns out it didn't really upgrade much of anything. In fact, it only upgraded Firefox3 from beta to RC1. The other package upgrades went through the motions to give the appearance of an upgrade, but then nothing. The slab menu is an abomination! I also spent over 3 hours in codec hell before finally giving up on a dvd title that plays flawlessly in Ubuntu and Mint. But the real showstopper was the system lockups. That should NEVER occur in a linux distro. Especially one running simple apps on high quality mainstream vanilla hardware. I could have tolerated the other bugs, but a system that locks is untenable.

I'll still probably come back and sample the next release, but 11 gets a big thumbs down from me. A shame really, as what they got right, they really got right.

  I rest my case. As evidenced by the previous multiple posting, this distro can't even execute a mouse click without problems. I've since installed Mint.

  Please let know which oracle works with suse 11.1?
